Barbara Boxer Vs Condi Rice

Don't you just love how the Democrats have raised the level of public discussion over common problems?

Barbara Boxer today grilled Condi Rice and informed Condi that, since she wasn't married and had no children, she lacked the moral right to make decisions about war. Boxer informed Condi that Condi had nothing at risk in the war and informed her that those who pay the price for her decisions are the American military.

Boxer is, of course, a complete idiot. We all pay the price for decisions made about the war on terror, because we are all at risk. Pulling out of the war abruptly might save American military lives in the short run, but cost many more in the long run. If we just ignore Islamic terrorism, how long will it be to the next 9/11, anthrax attack, dirty bomb or suitcase nuke? Boxer is extremely short-sighted and can't see past her big mouth to the big picture.

Yes, the military are the ones who go in harm's way for the rest of us. Pacifist-appeasers like Boxer are the ones who put them (and us) at risk, by giving hope to our enemies and a reason to be patient while the Democrats labor in their behalf.
